Boob Envy


Listen Later

Sigmund Freud once fantasized (or theorized, whichever you prefer; they both work here) that "normal" women develop something called penis envy around the time of puberty. Freud hypothesized that this penis envy eventually led women to desire to have their own penis so much that they become heterosexuals, thus accomplishing their secret goal. Why Freud needed to come up with such outlandish theories to explain why a woman would want a penis, I will never know. I tend to think that it had something to do with his own penis envy though. Late in his life Freud was afflicted with mouth cancer due to his frequent smoking and one of the side effects was, unfortunately for Sigmund, erectile dysfunction. In order to treat this, as I am sure most men would have tried, Freud had a surgery on his penis to try to get it to function again. This did not happen and he died a short while later. Imagine if Freud had been a woman afflicted by breast cancer. Would Sara Freud have developed a theory about boob envy, stating that the real reason men desire boobs is because they do not have them and that heterosexuality is merely an expression of this hidden desire? Probably. I mean, we are talking about Freud after all. But, unlike penis envy, I am starting to think that boob envy is quite real. We see it all the time in entertainment. A famous women wears scantily clad clothing for the first time in public and all of a sudden the puritan living inside of most Americans comes back big time. "Burn the witch" has now been replaced with "unfollow the celebrity". I still remember when Janet Jackson accidentally showed a portion of one of her breasts while performing with Justin Timberlake (still don't understand that pairing at all, but whatever); it was like the world was ending (I know that sounds exaggerated but some people still use this clip in end times predictions videos on youtube just as they used Madonna's Superbowl performance with Bahphomet symbolism to do the same). By the way, Jackson's career pretty much tanked because of the incident, while Vanilla Ice's, I mean Justin Timberlake's career took off. That is a pretty nasty double standard when you think about it and it is quite primitive. The woman must suffer, while the man is elevated. Are you starting to take note of my not so subtle hints of religious fundamentalism here? One of the strongest indications of a society in a state of peril is this need to write lofty moral concepts into law. There is no utility in such laws. They only serve to repress women, to keep them from expressing themselves and to keep them in the dark about their sexuality. This is what high-minded intellectual snobs like Freud encourage all the time, this idea that sexuality must be pure and conditioned to "normality". There is no hard science to this notion. There was also an outcry from the puritans when Britney Spears released her "Slave" album, scantily clad in a green bikini like outfit, holding a large snake (I'll leave you to figure out the symbolism on your own). Billie Eilish is yet another victim of this puritan mentality and the boob envy that comes along with it. Eilish recently changed her style of dress, wearing far more revealing outfits than her typical style and dying her hair blonde, a perfectly normal thing to do for a young woman who is finding out who she is. But she was punished by her "fans" for doing this, receiving a bunch of discouraging comments and losing 100,000 followers. I swear it feels like we are under Sharia law in this country! Why are we telling young women what to wear, how to dress, who to be? What business is it of ours? How far will this nonsense be allowed to go? Are the puritans planning on making women wear tents instead of clothing? It could be. Only time will tell. But in the meantime, let's enjoy boobs while we still can before the dreadfully boring folks make living in America even less arousing than it already is, shall we?
